{Giveaway Week ~ celebrating 1 year since quitting my day job [day 2]}

May 17, 2011 ·
Filed Under: for fun, giveaway, Gussy

This giveaway is now closed.

Well, there definitely were a lot of winners to pick from… The winner of the Yellow Woodgrain tote bag is Brittany {email: brit___y4@aol.com}, and the winner of the $50 Hawthorne Threads shop credit is Lindsey of Sweetly Yours . Hooray, hooray — email me, gals!

Day 2 of Giveaway Week, are you ready?!

About 2 years ago, when I was just starting to get the hang of my shop, how to sell handmade, how to market, how to blog, I found The Nester and soon enough she took me under her wing *wink*. Time has proven her to be a constant, kind, encouraging mentor and friend to me. She’s so wise — I’m so thankful. It seemed only fitting to have The Nester share with the Gussy Sews community a few sentences on having a handmade business/on Gussy Sews/on taking risks. Here’s what she wrote ~

It’s been such fun to watch Gussy Sews rapidly blossom into a successful business. Gussy was willing to take a risk, quit her day job and do the work so that she can do what she loves ~ it really is inspiring to watch. I love my Gussy bags but mostly, I like having Gussy as a friend who encourages me in my own business and following my passions. Thanks Gussy for sharing your talents AND story with us! LOVE YOU!!, ~ the Nester

Have I mentioned how much the handmade community is a wonderful source of encouragement? Seriously. It’s been monumental in the success of my business, not to mention to so many other handmade shop owners. I love it and the opportunities it has brought us all, and yeow! it brings me so much joy.

♥ Look at ALL this new product that’s been added to the shop {links + details under each photo}:

Sultry Damask laptop bag & tote bag

Gussy Girl Kitchen Helper zipped pouch

Gussy Girl Sweet Cupcakes zipped pouch

Peonies in pink zipped pouch, small (limited)

Orange floral zipped pouch, small

Citrus Dot diaper/wipe wristlet

♥ Stay tuned, I’ve got MORE ruffles to list before the week is up :]

Today’s giveaway:

Leave a comment below to enter to win $75 Gussy Sews shop credit ~ hooray!!!

Please leave a comment below. I’ll close the giveaway later tonight, so be sure you enter now if you’re interested! Open to the U.S. only; won shop credit can not be combined with a discount code or any other promotion. The winner will be posted Wednesday morning. Come back each day this week to see all that I’m giving away, a total of $1,100+ in prizes! xoxo

    May 17, 2011 at 6:36 am

    Ooohh, nice shop credit! I can finally get a ruffly tote! Thanks!

    Side note: how did the Nester decide to “take you under her wing”? I’d love some guidance like that myself, but am very unsure as to how I can seek it out. Much like there aren’t many/any sewing friends in my area, there definitely aren’t any craft business friends either. I’m going to Sewing Summit in the Fall, so I’m sure I’ll make some friends there. Any tips in the meantime???
